-- | Queries against 'Unique' keys (other than the id 'Key').
--
-- Please read the general Persistent documentation to learn how to create
-- 'Unique' keys.
--
-- Using this with an Entity without a Unique key leads to undefined
-- behavior. A few of these functions require a /single/ 'Unique', so using
-- an Entity with multiple 'Unique's is also undefined. In these cases
-- persistent's goal is to throw an exception as soon as possible, but
-- persistent is still transitioning to that.
--
-- SQL backends automatically create uniqueness constraints, but for MongoDB
-- you must manually place a unique index on a field to have a uniqueness
-- constraint.
